? The current time in all World Time Mode cities is calculated in accordance with the*Based on data as of June 2002.
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on the current Home
City time setting in the Timekeeping Mode.
? The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
? The GMT differential is the time difference of the time zone where the city is located
from Greenwich Mean Time.
? GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC) data.
Backlight Precautions
? The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
? The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
? The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
? The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
? Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
